GOING BEYOND!

Jeremiah 17: 7,8, and 14

Everyone has thought at least sometime in their life about getting on an airplane and escaping into the great beyond!  Yep!   Sometimes I have that thought several times a day, depending on what the circumstances are.

Where is your great beyond?

"Jesus, come and get me!"  or  "Give me a ticket to Hawaii, Cancun, Switzerland. . .anywhere!"

Or maybe it is. . ."Wait, What?  You don't really think I can go there and do that, Lord Jesus.!"

Okay so I can't go any of those places.  Maybe He would make a house call?  Have you ever thought how fantastic that would be,  if we could call Him on the phone,  and He would come right over?

Actually, He does.  His Word is our house call.

Jeremiah 17: 7, 8 :    But blessed is he (put your name in there) who trusts in the Lord whose confidence is in him.  He (your name) will be like a tree planted near the water that sends out its roots by the stream.  It does not fear when the heat comes;  its' leaves are always green.  It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.

His Word tells us everything we need to know about going beyond our comfort zone.  It tells us everything we need to know about going through those tough seasons we are asked to experience.

In these verses it is comforting to know that no matter what if I just don't panic and instead trust the Lord, I will stay fresh and make it.  If I just don't worry and instead trust the Lord, I will be blessed with bearing the fruit of standing on my ground.  Upright and whole.  Our part in all this is to send those roots of trust, love, confidence, and belief deep down into Him.  He's got it, he always does.

Jeremiah 17: 14   Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed, save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.

Psalm 25: 1  Unto you, O Lord, do I bring my life.
